You are correct - "silly" is not appropriate. What a laughable, stupid list. Entirely subjective and not even fit to line a parrot cage.

I would hardly call the list "Silly" ! The Gramophone is a most
eminent publication and the best of its kind in the world. Perhaps if you read
it on a regular basis you would not use the word "Silly" ??
The list of the 20 World's Top Orchestras given is as follows:
7. Cleveland Orchestra
8. Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchetra
9. Budapest Festival Orchestra
10. Dresden Staatskapelle
11. Boston Symphony Orchestra
12. New York Philharmonic Orchestra
13. San Francisco Symphony Orchestra
